Abstract   Despite of the high response rates induced by combination chemotherapy and radiatherapy, the primary small cell lung carcinoma(SCLC) in thoracic cavity could not be eradicated, com- pletely. The combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy sometimes produces complete remission in approximately 50% of patients with small cell lung carcinoma localized in one hemithorax(limited disease), but the great malority were exPerienced relaPse of the tumor in the same thorax. The tumor usually recurred at the same side thorax, suggesting that while chemotherapy may be able to eradicate occult metastases, and cannot sterilize large primary tumor deposits. So surgical excision of the primary focus of SCLC will be tried to be eradicated the recurrence of tumor after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We performed right pneumonectomy after three cycles chemotherapy and one cycle radiotherapy for complete remission of SCLC in the Department of the Thoracic and Cardio- vascular surgery, Yonsei University College of medicine. The post-operative patho1ogic report happened to reveal total necrosis of small cell lung carcinoma suggesting the complete remission of SCLC. The post-operative courses were uneventful for 15 months to now.
